I recently picked up a set of used mizuno ez forged irons, and was reading a very old thread about forged irons and it said that after each year they probably need to be re-adjusted because they bend easy. Is this true or is it a myth?

The softer metal of a forged club does 'move' and it is recommended to get the loft and lie checked regularly. The fitter I use has suggested every six months depending on usage.

If you practice on mats or the ground on the courses you play is pretty hard I'd suggest you get the lofts checked at least annually.

My understanding is that the lie is more likely to move than the loft, though if you're checking one, you're checking the other most likely.

It depends in part on how much you play. A small-college female golfer plays out of our club and uses MP59 irons. She has the loft and lie checked twice a year: in early spring and after the college golf season ends.

Not only that, you will see it most in wedges or short clubs that you dig deeper divots with.

Another sign is when you lose your gaps, at least to me this was again with the short clubs.

I don't know if you need to do it annually but if you see yourself hitting different clubs similar distances (like your pitching wedge and 9 iron go the same distance) its probably worth checking.
